Luke, eh, you arent the first person to roll your eyes at me..and you wont be the last. LOL~
I wanted to say this. What you had was real...the love, the marriage. Dont allow this to take those memories away. Though I imagine you see it all a bit differently now.
This crisis is deep rooted. It has built up over years and years of unresolved issues and then it bubbles over. They dont have any choice in it.
All of that is hard to get your mind around. It takes some time to accept it all cuz its a whole lot.
Children your son's age should not have 2 hours of additional work at home. The loose equation is ten minutes for every year of school. So a second grader should have 20 to 30 minutes of homework.
My niece was in an advanced program. They gave her hours of work after school. My sister decided to pull her out because it was putting a strain on my niece and the whole family.
There have been ramifications from those years.
The truth is that they all learn to read and write and add. You dont get a prize if you do it sooner. If the teacher has approached you about it, then you should consider doing something. Until then, he is ok, I think.
So, I am glad you gave your opinion to your wife about it. However, you do know that by saying what you did, and I am not at all saying that you shouldnt have, but, it will make it about her and not about your son.
Yea, I know, you are rolling your eyes again. Heehee
